July 21, 2020 04:01 - 4 minutes - 8.44 MBIn this episode, Professional Scrum Trainer Sam Falco answers the question: "Why do you say that Sprint Zero is an anti-pattern?" Why do you say that Sprint Zero is an anti-pattern? “Sprint Zero” is a label applied to the indeterminate period of time used to gather product requirements and analyze them before a Scrum Team can start developing the product.

July 14, 2020 16:00 - 5 minutes - 9.43 MBIn this episode, Professional Scrum Trainer Sam Falco answers the question: "Is it OK to plan several Sprints in advance?" I’ve seen this practice in many organizations. Product Owners plan four, five, even six Sprints of work for their teams. The result is something like a Gantt chart with Sprints instead of weeks as the unit of measure. It’s a bad practice with many drawbacks and no real benefit. It diminishes transparency The Scrum Guide’s description of the Product Backlog gives us...

Scrum will surface the problems in your ability to deliver so that you can fix...

Why does my Scrum have so many meetings?
May 19, 2020 04:01 - 4 minutes - 7.88 MBIn this episode, Professional Scrum Trainer Sam Falco addresses the complaint: "I don't like Scrum because there are too many meetings." At first glance, that seems like an odd thing to say, because there are only four meetings. The Meetings in Scrum Sprint Planning is timeboxed at up to eight hours for a one-month Sprint. It's usually shorter for shorter Sprints. The Daily Scrum, as the name implies, happens every day, but it's timeboxed to no more than 15 minutes. Sprint Review t...

Introduction In my Professional Scrum Foundation classes, sometimes I'm asked, "Why doesn't Scrum care about good software development?" Kind of a funny question, right?
